  • Patent number: 12157188
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a weld bead inspection device that inspects welding quality by measuring the state of beads formed at a welding part of a metallic or non-metallic pipe, or the like, and more specifically, to a weld bead inspection device that more efficiently inspects a welding part joined by a method such as thermal fusion for connection between pipes or connection between a pipe and a fitting. The weld bead inspection device includes a housing unit that forms an appearance; an imaging unit that images shapes of the weld beads in an inner space that is open downward from a middle inner side of the housing unit; a control unit that is provided in the housing unit to store image data captured by the imaging unit or to calculate external shapes of the weld beads for determining welding quality on the basis of the image data.

  • Publication number: 20230137583
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a weld bead inspection device that inspects the shape of a weld bead, and provides a weld bead inspection device capable of inspecting the welding quality, welding state, and the like by imaging the shape of the weld bead in a pipe. For this purpose, the weld bead inspection device of the present invention includes an image sensor unit that images a shape of a weld bead in a downwardly open inner space formed on a middle inner side of a housing unit and an illumination unit that provides illumination light directly or indirectly to the weld bead. Accordingly, by moving and rotating the weld bead inspection device along an outer peripheral surface of a pipe to be inspected, it is possible to quickly and accurately inspect the weld bead by virtue of a simple inspection operation even in a complex facility structure.
